Free ticket to Marc-Andre Hamelin in SF, 4/29
on: April 18, 2006, 04:04:38 PM
Hello,

I have a 4th-row center seat ticket to Marc-Andre Hamelin's recital in San Francisco, Saturday Apr. 29th at 8pm.  He's one of my favorite pianists, but sadly, I will be out of town and will have to miss the show.  Instead of getting a refund or exchanging the ticket, I'd rather give it away to someone who could appreciate his artistry.  I figured this forum might be a good place to find a taker.  (I'd prefer someone who normally wouldn't go because of the cost).

Send me a personal message if you're interested.


Here is the program - it should be very interesting.
SCHUBERT Sonata in A Major, D. 664
VLADIGEROV Sonatina Concertante, Op. 28
WAGNER-LISZT Isoldens Liebestod
VERDI-LISZT Ernani Paraphrase
BELLINI-LISZT Reminiscences de Norma

Same here. You deserve several expensive diamond crusted candles for your generosity.


And salt, for good luck.

I would definately take you up on that, but unfortunately I am giving a recital that evening.  I'm just an hour and a half out.  I'm almost tempted to just not show at my recital and go to that instead. :)

Hmm, interesting....

I might be able to potentially go to this.  I'm supposed to be in CA during that time, just not in the right city. 

It is a very tempting offer. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

You guys give me too much credit  :)  Hamelin is great, but nobody should skip their own recital to see him.  Anyways, I found someone to take the ticket.
Thanks!

Wish I could go, I am in Ca., but So. Cal.  Have you tried calling any music departments of the various schools and seminaries in the area?  Certainly there would be someone who could take it.
